If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not…

 

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

And to clarify, impossible doesn’t mean something no one else has ever done.

Impossible here means something you’ve never done, because YOU think it’s impossible.

A good feeling is one of the best unscientific measurements

Disney Keynote Speakers
If you could but didn’t, “Why not?” Pictured above are my Masters and PhD “diplomas”.

 

i’m working from anywhere these days.

It’s a good feeling to be able to do this.

The good feeling is one of the best measurements to ensure you are changing in beneficial ways.

My email response for posterity

Disney Keynote Speaker
GNP 2014.

 

Boldness fertilizes genius. Just before i filed this email in the digital client folder, i reread it. And i thought to myself, “You wrote that? That’s pretty bold. i like it.”

“Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.”  – Vincent Van Gogh

 

Yesterday…my email reply…

Thanks for your message. The proposed call was intended for us, not the committee.

The purpose is to accelerate my understanding of what the bullseye is for the keynote speech.

There’d be three possible outcomes from our call:

1. We’d both easily realize my content isn’t a right fit for your target.
2. The bullseye and my content would be close but not a perfect match. And if i can’t hit the bullseye, i’d decline.
3. Or, there’s no one else in the world who can not only hit your bullseye like my content can, but i’ll actually split the arrow already in the bullseye.

The fact there’s no video on my website is a bold and different move. It’s intentional. And risky. The same intentionality (and risk) Disney Institute applies to their website and You Tube channel.

PS. If your conference isn’t aiming for content that can change things, i’ll have to respectfully pass. There are more committees than not that are subconsciously going through the motions and checking off their to-dos, without respect for bold and risky.

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

Be amazed and be amazing. Our world needs more of that.

In real life, inspiring, aspirational theory can eat you alive

Executive coaching
Executives live in a prison cell if they’re not careful – the fear of being wrong.

 

Much of the allure of great thinkers (say, Steve Jobs) is the spin the marketing and public relations people put on what the public gets to consume.

Yes, we know these people are or were ridiculously driven, yet we selectively push that aside because driven people are often exceptionally difficult to be around.

This my friends, is one of the proverbial crosses a visionary entrepreneur must carry.

It’s also the reason why so many people fall in love with the “text book theory” narrative.

Theory is so inspiring, especially from a distance.

In real life, inspiring, aspirational theory can eat you alive.

i love knowing this first hand.

Bottomline, a yes has the same risk and reward as a no

Indisputable Excellence

He’s thinking about next steps.

It will be expensive, relatively speaking.

On the other hand, it’s an incredible bargin.

Bottomline, a yes has the same risk and reward as a no.

Taking risks is risky, so is playing it safe.

Growth and surrender are inseparable.

Go.
